For years, Utah has been treated like a political afterthought. Written off. Ignored. Assumed to be permanently red no matter what voters actually want. But something has shifted. Court ordered maps cracked open the state’s congressional districts, and suddenly a place no one was supposed to compete is at the center of a very real fight for power in Washington.
In this episode, we sit down with Utah State Senator Nate Blouin, a progressive lawmaker Republicans proudly call a punk because he refuses to play scared. He talks candidly about growing up without privilege, surviving student debt and healthcare crises, and how that lived experience shaped his politics. We get into ICE overreach, the killing of Renee Nicole Good, grassroots protest culture, and why economic populism and moral clarity are resonating far beyond traditional blue strongholds.
This is not a feel good conversation. It is a reality check and a roadmap. If you care about flipping the House, holding power accountable, and proving that no state should ever be written off, you need to watch this episode. Press play and see why Utah might be closer to turning blue than anyone expected.
